With a grant from the Maine Historical Society, Mantor Library and the UMF History Dept. created an online exhibit in Maine Memory Network using images and documents from the UMF archives and research done by UMF students. The exhibit, We Used to Be “Normal”: A History of Farmington State Normal School, features the school's history during the 1900s – 1940s when the university was known as Farmington State Normal School, showcases the Home Economics program and its “Cottage babies,” and highlights students’ activities, on campus and in the community, to illustrate the social life and customs typical of the time. |
